Tamer Hassan makes films that consider the social and historical constructs of perception. He aims to transform his own way of seeing by engaging with various traditions and shows the process of being changed by those encounters. Rather than describe his subjects, his films draw attention, alerting us to what may exceed our understanding.
His films have shown at festivals and venues worldwide including Viennale, Cinéma du Réel, Lincoln Center’s Art of the Real, Courtisane, and Punto de Vista, and he has exhibited in art spaces such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, Lithium Gallery (Chicago), Mana Contemporary (Chicago), and Articule (Montréal).
He has taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Parsons School of Design and is currently a visitng artist at McGill University’s Critical Media Lab.
